Health Supervision
Anticipatory Guidance: Introduction
Health
education, including anticipatory
guidance, is a required EPSDT component
to be presented and documented at each preventive health
visit.
Learning what families already know and what they do to promote health provides opportunities to personalize the anticipatory guidance, clear up misconceptions, offer new information, and reinforce healthy habits.
|
The Value of Anticipatory Guidance
-
Helps families understand what to expect in their child’s or teen's current and approaching stages of development.
-
Provides information about healthful lifestyles and habits as well as injury and illness prevention.
-
Reinforces the importance of the family in the health partnership.
-
Supports the development of positive and effective relationships with families, children, and teens.
-
Can be supplemented with handouts and family materials.
